Hidden Hawaii Tours (opens in a new tab)

15 4 h

From hidden waterfalls to white sand beaches this tour is unlike any other (This tour is intimate and small, the maximum amount of people on a tour is 4 so no big tour busses) If this is the only thing you do in Hawaii then it will still be worth it! I know the best routes to some of the most beautiful hikes on Oahu. I have been a local for about 14 years so I really know these trails well. I love to point out special vegetation on the way as well, like mushrooms and flowers. From beginning to end you will really love my tour. I like to make my guests feel at home like they are traveling with an old friend. Feel free to ask me about anything and I will tell you all about my island and what you need to see and do! Tips are highly appreciated! (Viator takes a huge pay cut from this price)
